My Mysterious Husband

It was noon. Tianye and Kerry were having lunch in a small restaurant. They didn’t get any message for the past few days and they were in no mood to talk to one another.

Suddenly, Tianye’s phone rang. He didn’t recognize the number and he thought it was a scam phone call, so he didn’t pick it up.

But a few minutes later, his phone rang again and it was still the same number. Tianye put his chopsticks down and picked it up. He said impatiently: “Who is it?”

He heard a hoarse voice saying: “Hello. Are you the person who went to the police station three days ago and did a DNA test?”

Tianye became nervous. He said: “Yes. I am.”

“A friend of yours stayed at my home that day. And is he with you? Can I talk to him?”

Tianye passed the phone to Kerry and said: “He wants to talk to you.”

Kerry was surprised. “Why doesn’t he just call me?”

Kerry took the phone and said: “Hello, this is Kerry.”

Mr Zhong sighed with relief. “Finally! I’m Mr Zhong. Remember? Three days ago you lived in my house.”

“Oh, sure. I remember you. Mr Zhong. What’s the matter?” Kerry had a sense of foreboding.

Mr Zhong said: “That day I told you about a retarded man living in the village next to ours, and I told you that he will get married today.”

Kerry thought about it and said: “Yes. Mrs Zhong said that man should never get married.”
